John Boehner calls Ted Cruz “that jackass”

At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton,
the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential
campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling
Boehner how to do his job…
“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of
goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging
Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who
attended the fundraiser…
Another Steamboat Springs resident confirmed Boehner’s remark: “I about fell on the floor.”
“To build coalitions to work together in Washington, D.C., you don’t
start it out by calling your colleague a ‘jackass,’” she said.
